Hybrid fluoro-guided thrombectomy intervention achieves limb salvage in a chronically thrombosed limb
Abstract A 70-year-old man with JAK2-positive polycythaemia vera presented with acute-on-chronic limb ischaemia following progressive digital necrosis. CT angiography demonstrated extensive thrombotic occlusion of the entire femoropopliteal segment and tibial trifurcation. Due to a delayed presentation with a 4-month history of progressive tissue loss, planned femoral-distal bypass was considered but deferred due to marked thrombocytosis…
Endovascular coil embolisation of radial artery pseudoaneurysm: a case report and literature review
Abstract Background: Radial artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) is a rare but recognised complication of transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with an incidence of 0.009–0.2%. Management depends on pseudoaneurysm size, morphology and patient factors. While conservative measures are often effective for small lesions, larger or symptomatic pseudoaneurysms may require surgical or endovascular intervention. Case report: A 77-year-old…
Splenic artery pseudoaneurysm presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding successfully treated by endovascular embolisation: a case report
Abstract Background: A splenic artery pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon vascular lesion accounting for less than 3% of splenic artery aneurysmal lesions, associated with a high risk of rupture (37–47%) and mortality rates up to 90%. Its clinical presentation is often non-specific and may include upper gastrointestinal bleeding, making early diagnosis crucial. Case presentation: An 80-year-old…
Aberrant retro-psoas course of the left common iliac artery on CT
Abstract Retro-psoas course of the common iliac artery is an extremely rare anatomical variant with important procedural implications. In this case report we describe a 60-year-old man who presented with acute abdominal pain and was found to have a left common iliac artery traveling posterior to the psoas major muscle. Imaging also revealed a high…
Giant aneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery: a rare pathology
Abstract True aneurysms of the dorsalis pedis artery are extremely rare. This case report describes a 53-year-old male patient who presented with a rapidly enlarging pulsatile lump at the dorsum of his right foot. Imaging studies confirmed this to be a true aneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery. As the large lesion was causing functional…
